Thanks Jordon Cooper for this link. You may listen in online to these recorded sessions and journey through the Bible with Dr. Craig R. Koester.

I googled by way to 100 ESSENTIAL BIBLE PASSAGES. After visiting a LiFE Group last week and then working through their GROW (i.e. Goals, Reality, Options, Will) questions with them – I’m glad to see their desire to know more of the Bible (most of them are new Christians just baptised or reaffirmed). The spark…

I found Will’s post on Writing Your Own Copy of “The Message” energizing my creative juices again this morning, I believe trying it out would give one a taste of what it means to let the Scriptures “saturate” & “shape” us. I admit, some passages would be harder to do it at first glance but…

Found this article entitled Qoheleth and Job: Diverse Responses to the Enigma of Evil. I think it’s good follow up on my newly ignited interest on these books. I’ve always found them fascinating!

well … I’m back. I enjoyed the sleep in STM, it’s easy to fall asleep when the whole environment is so quiet. That’s after feeding numerous mosquitos in the last post. 🙂 Prof. Seow “re-enacted” beautifully two chapters of JOB so we could get the theological cues to interpret the whole book. I found his…
